"he first thiiit' to be required in a system of popular instruction, is that it should be intelligible ; 
children aiMl.vouth should understand what they learn. Understand what they learn ? It may 



ain and simple language, and illustrated by facts and experiments which are level to the

that children aiMl,y .. . . , . 

b" asked what else can they do ? I answer, that they may commit it to memory, may recite it, m.ay 
even malce a fair show of knowledge, and yet know nothing! I have not the least hesitation in 
saying, that two or three years, in the education of almost every individual in this country, have 
ben thrown away upon studying what they do not understand. .,,.,_ * -.t, .-

durability and economy. Yours respectfully,

highly satisfactory, covering more surface than you promised, is more economical, and 
carries better gloss than ordinary paint, and is freer from disagreeable odor.

Farmers and Gardeners, Look to Your Interest, and 



Buy the Best and Cheapest Manure 



We respectfully call the attention of Farmers and Gardners to our AMMO- 
NIATED POUDRETTE, manufactured at Branchville, Prince George's 
County, Md., from the offal of the District of Columbia. The mont eminent 
Chemsits say that Night Soil is an exceedingly rich and most valuable ma- 
nure. We claim particular richness for our POUDRETTE, from the fact 
that the Ammonia is fixed by Sulphuric Acid and other chemicals. Its 
chemical properties are so well proportioned that it acts like magic upon the 
ground, forcing vegetation to mature at a much earlier day than by the use 
of any other ingredients. Every Farmer and Gardener should use it, as the 
cost of this article is more than repaid the first year. It gives an instanta- 
neous start to the young plant, being mild in its action but povperful in effect. 
A great advantage is that no worms will stay in a hill of Corn or other plants 
where the Poudrette is used, saving Irequently the expense of replanting. 
With the above facts, and the testimony of nearly all the Farmers and Gar- 
deners in the counties surrounding Baltimore, who constantly use Poudrette 
with the most beneficial results, the supply being far below the demand, we 
beg to offer our article in either Barrels, Bags or Bulk, at our Manufac- 
tory, or on the cars at Branchville, in quantities to suit purchasers. t|^"For 
any information, address TTJIFUvTEIi <Sc CO.

Having witnessed the process employed by W. M. JONES'S Patent for Renovating Beds 
and Mattresses, it gives me pleasure to testify to the thorough manner iu which it 
removes all impurities from the Feathers and Hair, and restores their original elasticity. 
One most important result of this mode of cleaning, consists in the destruction by healed 
steam of whatever organic germs of disease may be present, and the removal of the 
noxious emanations from the human body, which are absorbed and retained by beds long 
in use. Regarding this as a matter of considerable importance in a hygienic point of view, 
I would, therefore, cordially recommend the process, not only uuon the score of cleanli- 
ness, but as very materially contributing toward the maintaiuance of health.

FEINTING HOUSE OF SHERWOOD & CO. 

18T4. 



INTRODUCTION. 



The Proprietors, in ofTering this, their Retail Catiilogue of the latest and most ap- 
proved class of Labor-Saving Agricultural Implements and Machinery, 'to the Public 
and our man}- Friends and Customers, -would respectfully- beg leave to call their atten- 
tion to the fact that it is our desire to sacrifice every selfish consideration towards the 
improvement of our Implements and Machinery, and the introduction of new and 
(Labor-Saving Implements, in proportion as the progress of improvement in Agricul- 
ture advances, and the wants of the Farmer demand. 

The business of the House has been conducted in this city for nearly three-quarters 
•of a century, and is still carried on under the same name and firm-style that it bore 
when first established. 

The thorough knowledge of the wants of the Farmer and Planter, and the expe- 
rience in Manufacturing acquired during this long period, enables the firm to offer 
to the Farmers and dealers of the South, South- West and West, Implements and 
Machinery adapted to their wants, and on the most reasonable terms. 

We cannot, in the limited space of a Catalogue, enumerate all the Machines to be 
found in our Stock, but only mention those of the most importance to the Farmer. 
We can always sujjply any Machine or Implement our Customers may need, and at 
short notice. 

We employ only the most experienced mechanics (most of whom have been in our 
employ for many years, and a goodly number of them have served their apprentice- 
-ship in our shops). We use only the very best materials in all departments of our 
manufacture. 

In 1870 we built an extensive Factory on Hamburg and Grindall Streets. The 
imain building on Hamburg Street is one hundred and fifty feet long by forty feet 
wide, and three stories high. The bottom floor is occupied as a Machine shop, Plow 
:shop, with Planing Machines, Circular Saws and Champering Machines. The second 
story is used as a Wood-work shop, where are made all the frames and wood-work 
■ of the different Machines. A part of this floor is set apart for what is called the 
Fan shop, where are made Wheat and Corn Fanning Mills, Grain Cradles, Cider 
Mills and Presses, etc. The third story is used as a Paint shop and storage room. 

Running at right angles with the main building is a building one hundred and 
forty feet long by thirty-six feet wide, the most of which is two stories high, and is 
•divided into Engine room, Boiler room. Grinding room and Blacksmith shop. In 
this, as well as in the main building, every department is sup(ilied with city water 
and the buildings are so arranged as to give a bountiful supply of light and air. 
These, together with the advantages of Labor-Saving Machinery, enable us to turn 
■out work from 10 to 15 per cmt. cheaper than can be done by any similar establish- 
ment in this countrv. Respectfully, 

E. SINCLAIR & CO.

HAY AND STRA\V CUTTER. 

(Three Hundred First-Class Premiums and Gold Medals.) 




The Masticator, as shown by the above cut, has been <ireatly iniin'oved in the last 
two years. We have substituted a lieavy wood frame for the cast-iron one formerly 
used, which enables us to put heavier axles in fted-rollers. and the main shaft is also 
made heavier than they were when the cast frame was used. There is still another 
advantage by substitutiug the wood frame, that is, the Machine works with a down- 
ward cut instead of the upward cut, as was the case when the iron frame was used. 

Tills machine is made with four (4) powerful, heavy cast-steel knives, attached to 
permanent, solid, cast-iron cylinder-heads, to which they are attached by screw-bolts, 
which can l)e removed in a few S'jconds for ihe purpose of grinding or adjustina;, etc. 

The Masticator has two crushinf; feed-rollers, the bottom one of which is ribbed, 
and the top one corrugated or rough, by which means the corn stalks, etc., are 
thoroughly crushed before being cut by the knife cylinder. 

The cylinder is easily adjusted by means of set .«crews in the main shaft boxes, by 
which the cylinder is easily moved to and from the bed steel. 

For strength, durability and cllicieiicy it has no equal in the United States. It has 
taken the first class Premium at all the Agricultural Fairsal which it has been exhib- 
ited, for over fourteen years; and also the Gold Medal of Honor at the World's 
Fairs in Loudon, Moscow and Paris. The Masticator is arranged to cut different 
lengths, namely : jj, 'l, U and 3 inches. This change is effected by a change of 
pinions.

Sinclair <Sc Co.'s Patent Scre^A/- Propeller 

HAY, STEAW AND FODDER CUTTER. 




Over three hundred first-class Premiums and Gold Medals have been awarded this 
Cutter in the last sixteen years. 

This Machine, now in its eighteenth year, and the seventeenth since the date of the 
Patent, stands unrivaled as a Cutter, for efficiency, durability and strength, merits 
it possesses over all other Cutters in this country. Its durability is of such a nature 
that when properly handled it will last a lifetime. 

The Patent on tliese Machines has liecn extended for seven years, which goes to 
show their value ; as, in fact, it is the only Straw-Cutter that has maintained its high 
reputation during the first term of its Patent. Most other Cutters, of less value, 
generally become extinct Ijcfore they run more than one-half of the Patent term. 

The Feed-Roller of the Propeller is one of tlie most attractive features of the Ma- 
chine. It is so constructed that it matters not how tangled or crooked the material 
to be cut is when put in the box, it will comb it out straight to the knives, so as 
to be cut even and uniformly. The knives are attached to strong cylinder-heads by 
bolts which can be easily removed for grinding, etc. It possesses all the necessary 
contrivances to a perfect adjustment of all its parts, necessary to successful cutting. 

The Cutters are now in constant use in every section of tliis country, and as they 
grow older it would seem their merits are more appreciated by intelligent farmers 
and planters everywhere. 

They need only a trial to be fully appreciated ; they are guaranteed to give entire 
satisfaction to the operator. 

GIVES PERFECT SATISFACTION. 

This, together with the superior materials nsed, and the perfection of its construc- 
tion, we are justified in saying, that there is no Cutter made in this or any other 
country to compare with it. 

All efforts of inventors that have been made in this (ountrv toward improving or 
inventing Straw-Cutters, have failed to produce a muchine of equal perfection to the 
Patent Screw FrojieJler. 

In final, we would say to every farmer and planter in the United States, if you 
want the best Straw and Ihiy-Cutter, buy the Screw Propeller. 



And Descriptive Catalogue. 



If you want the best Corn-Stalk or Sugar-Caue Cutter, buy our Patent Masticator, 
either one of which, when properly tnanagecl, will save you the price paid for it in 
a very short time. 

We make six sizes, either with two or three knives on tlie cylinder.

;j4 additional on the 9 inch and 11 inch, and $2 additional on the 8 inch. 







One of the most Popular Hand-Power Cutters in the United States. 

The accompanying cut shows the six inch 
Propeller, j;otten up liy us within the last 
six months. The object of the firm in get- 
ting up tills Cutter is, for it to take the 
place of all the common, cheap, good-for- 
nothing cutters now flooding the country', 
such as the Raw-hide Roller Cutter, Copper 
Strips, Lever Cutters, and a host of others 
too numerous to mention. 

This machine has all the advantages of 
the Screw Propeller feed-rollers, and is much 
more simple in the arrangement of its cut- 
ting cylinder, being more easily adjusted. 
This machine, since its introduction, is 
sought after by all our agricultural imple- 
ment dealers all over the country- ; in fact, 
the demand for them now is greater than 
the supply. They are the simplest Cutters 
made; also, strong and durable, and we 
guarantee one of them to last longer, 
and give more satisfaction to the operator, 
than half a dozen of the cheap, common 
ow in use would last, one used after the other. It is easily managed, and 
nine or ten years of age can operate it with ease. It is at once the cheapest 
small hand-])Ower Cutter made in the world.

HOBSE-POWER COM SHELLER AND CLEANER. 

This Shelter has Won the Laurels at every Agricultural Fair at which it was Exhibited. 




This i3 justly called the King of Shellers, it being the largest portable Sheller, 
and haying the greatest capacity of any Sheller made in this country. 

It is made entirely of iron, except the legs on which it stands (they being wood). 
It is in general lue in all parts of the South and West where Corn is raised to an 
extent, and is the most valuable psttern for large Plantations. 

Capacity from 1,500 to 2,500 bushels per day. 

Patent owned by Sinclair & Co., for all the Southern and Southwestern States. 




We have, within the last two years, applied a fan to this Sheller, which adds 
considerably to the efficiency of the machine. 

By means of the fan the Corn is cleaned as soon as shelled, and made all ready for 
market at one operation, thereby saving the labor and expense of second handling.. 
The machine is run exclnsively by Horse, Water, or Steam Power.

This Sheller is constructed to run either by hand or horse power. 

We have recently improved this Sheller by the application of a complete Cleaning 
Attachment, by which the Corn is shelled and cleaned at the same time. 

The Cleaner consists of a Fan and a movable Shoe of Riddles or Screens, -which 
thoroughly separate all broken cobs, chaff, etc., leaving the Corn in as good condi- 
tion as when run through an ordinary Fan Mill. 




This Sheller -will «lso, when made without the Fan, thoroughly separate the cob 
from the Corn, and will give as good satisfaction as any Sheller of its size made. 
For simplicity of construction and ease of management we rank it amongst our most 
valuable machines. 

Capacity, by Horse Power, from 600 to 800 bushels per day. 
Capacity, by Hand Power (two hands), 400 bushels per day.

French Burr and Cologne Stone Plantation Mills. 



The difficulty of construct- 
ing a domestic Corn Mill, 
possessing all the requisites 
necessary for Plantation use, 
has occupied the attention of 
the Proprietors for several 
years. They are now able to 
inform their customers that 
the object is accomplished. 
The figure herewith repre- 
sents a machine every way 
adapted for grinding the 
finest quality of meal for 
market or family use, or for 
chopping feed for stock. 

There are numerous similar 
Mills made in this country, 
but nearly all of them fall 
short of the object — which 
is, a Mill requiring light 
draught, and one that will 
grind sufficiently fast, and 
fine enough, for all the wants required on a Plantation. But, to 

The Improvements and Advantages Possessed:— 

First: — The Stones (FrenCh Burr or Cologne) are cut to produce 
the least friction, at the same time to act on the grain in the most 
effectual manner. 

Second: — The feeding is performed by a simple and efficient device 
by which the quantity of grain can be regulated, as it passes from the 
Hopper to the Stones, in the most regular manner, thus producing an 
evenness and regularity of work performed. 

The Frame is made strong and substantial, out of the best White 
Ash. The Mill is also double-geared, made strong and heavy, so as 
to stand the resistance of almost any quantity of power applied. It 
is also supplied with a simple device by which the top stone can be 
raised or lowered in an instant, to regulate the fineness of the mate- 
rial ground. There are hundreds of these Mills in use, and to any 
one wanting a first-class Plantation Mill, we can recommend them 
with confidence. 

The following are the sizes most generally used on Farms and 
Plantations :

VERTICAL IRON WHEEL OR NEGRO CORN SHELLER. 

This Sheller is all 
iron (as shown by the 
cut), except the stand 
on which it sits, which 
is wood. The Corn is 
shelled by the wheel 
and a vertical spring. 
The Corn is thrown in 
on the side of the'wheel 
and is shelled very rap- 
idly ; in fact, as fast as 
two men or boys can 
feed it. 

It is one of the most 
substan tial S h e 1 1 e r s 

made, and is, as the

gro's own vSheller, from 
the fact that it is so simple and strong that the most careless 
hand cannot well get it out of order.

CHAMPION CORN AND COB CRUSHER. 




This cut shows the construction of this valuable machine. For farm 
and plantation use, Maynard's Improved Crusher is doubtless the 
most valuable machine that has been introduced to the notice of the 
farmer.' 

It is simply worked by one or two mules or horses attached to a 
wooden lever, thus saving the necessity and consequent cost and delay 
of employing a horse-power machine. 

The improvement principally consists in forming a more uniform 
crushing or grinding surface, and having the lower part of the cone 
and concave in rings, and cast separate from the main castings. Those 
rings are the portion of the grinding surface most liable to wear, and 
can be renewed at pleasure. 

The Machine is designed to grind Corn and Cob, Corn and Oats, etc., 
for stock, and should be used by all our practical farmers who feed 
Corn to stock. 

Capacity from 5 to 8 bushels per hour, depending on the condition 
of the corn and the application made. 

Price $45.

Corn Mill and Corn and Cob Crusher Combined. 



This Mill, as shown by the 
out, is made of cast iron, the 
Grinding Plates are construct- 
ed on an entirely new princi- 
ple, and made of chilled cast 
iron. 

The grinding works of this 
Mill, by their peculiar con- 
struction, wear very slow, and 
produce meal of the desired 
quality for making corn bread. 
The Mill is also capable of 
grinding corn and cob, or 
corn and oats, for stock, to 
any degree of fineness desired. 
The construction of the 
grinding works is horizontal; 
the running cylinder is coni- 
cal, having around its periph- 
ery a succession of spears or 
cutters, which, by the revolu- 
tion of the cylinder, come in 
close contact with irregular, spiral, sharp, square-edged cutters, attached to the 
concave, which gradually force the meal forward and out at the opposite end from 
•which the grain enters. 

When the cylinder or cutters wear to a dull edge, they may be brought to their 
original sharpness, simply by passing the requisite quantity of sharp sand through 
the Mill. 

These Mills are adapted to the Two-Horse Railway Power, or to the light Four- 
Horse Lever Power, and can be run by Water or Steam Power, and will grind from 
eight to twelve bushels per hour, according to the degree of fineness required and 
power applied. 

Price, with sieve arranged for sifting corn-meal for family use $45. 




HAND AND POWEK GKAIN, COFFEE AND SPICE MILL. 



This is a very simple and du- 
rable Mill, and can be run either 
by Hand or Power. When run 
by power it will grind some four 
or five bushels of grain per hour, 
quality coarse. It is not liable 
to get out of order, and when 
the grinding plates are worn out 
they can be replaced by others 
at a small cost.

SPIRAL WROUGHT IRON CILINOER THRASHER, 

WITH STRAW-OAEEIER ATTACHED. 




The latest improvement, and the most valuable, made on our 
Thrashing Machine Cylinder, is the plan of attaching spiral bars (see 
figure), instead of the ordinary horizontal arrangement. 

There is an obvious reduction of draught, that the cylinder receives 
the straw faster ; consequently will thrash with greater rapidity ; that 
the spikes pass those in the concave alternately, produce less noise or 
surge— so objectionable in the parallel cylinder ; causes less wear on 
the boxes and axles, and less risk of derangement. Our cylinders are 
made with open wrought-iron bars, instead of the solid or plain sur- 
face, which causes an agitation of the air when running, and blows

dust at the mouth of the Machine — so annoying and injurious to the 
health of the feeder. 

These Machines are much used by our most popular farmers, both 
with and without the Straw-Carriers, and are such as we can recom- 
mend to all who need a first-class Thrasher.

The high esteem in which this machine is held l)y Farmers 
who have used them, for the last ten years, has induced us to 
mention it in our present edition, as still maintaining its old 
and well-earned reputation to-day, as it did ten years ago. 

This machine has taken several first-class premiums at all 
our Agricultural State Fairs, from 1855 to the present day, and 



18 R. Sinclair &, Co.'s Pictorial 

is now held in higher esteem by our farmers of Maryland and 
Virginia than are most other Powers. 

The advantages claimed for the Triple-Gear Power are, that 
it will stand three times the pressure, and wear three times as 
long as any single-geared Power in use. This will be apparent 
from the following considerations : 

Eight horses, drawing IGO lbs. each, at the end of levers of 
ordinary length, exert a force of ten thousand pounds on the 
master-wheel of the Power ; in the single-geared Power this is 
all transmitted through a single pinion — the wear is consequently 
great, and the liability to break proportionate. 

In the Pelton Power, the cogs of the master-wheel are on the 
inner side, and gear into three pinions ; the strain and wear 
being equally divided between the three, is but one-third as 
great on each side as in a single-geared Power. 

Some thousands of these machines have been sold for the last 
twelve years in the States of Pennsylvania, Maryland and Vir- 
ginia ; and when properly made, give universal satisfaction. 

They are particularly adapted as a portable Power, as they 
are easily and conveniently transported from place to place, and 
the most unskilled farm hand can set them down for use. 

They will work equally as well on hillside as on level ground. 
They are particularly adapted to out-door exposure, as there is 
but little wood about them, and that of a kind that any carpen- 
ter can renew. 

The Powers made by us are each run several hours at our 
shops^ which insures their being in the best running order. 

WE MAKE FOUR (4) SIZES, all of which are made of the Best

This Machine, as represented in the cut, is a very popular Machine in the Rice- 
growing sections of the South ; in fact, it is the only successful PortableThrasher 
for that purpose yet introduced. The peculiar construction of the Cylinder and 
CoHcave Feed Gauge, and Straw Carrier, has insured to this Machine a pre-eminence 
over all others yet used. Wc make four sizes of these Machines, to suit the Avants of 
the Planters. The two small sizes can be run with the two-horse Railway Power, or 
a four-horse or four-mule Lever Power. The two larger sizes require the power of 
from six to eight horses to run them to their full capacity. 

These Machines have been used for several years in North and South Carolina 
and Georgia, and are sold by the principal merchants in those States ; also by the 
largest Implement manufacturers and dealers in New York city and Boston.

CARD WELL'S PATENT SEPARATOR 

This Machine is fully represented in the preceding cut. It is 
an improvement on all the Separators now made. The great 
objection to all Thrashers and Cleaners, as heretofore made, was 
their complicated character and liability to get out of order. 
In this machine all these defects are remedied. It is simple in 
its construction^ reliable in its working, and will not get out of 
order. Six mules give it power, and it takes but few hands to 
attend to it. As compared with Pitt's or Kussell's style of 
machines, it saves ten pulleys^ ten bearings, seven belts, as well 
as the revolving apron ; as compared with other Separators now 
in use, and have been in use in this State and Virginia for seve- 
ral years, it saves four pulleys, four bearings, two belts and a 
set of rakes. No Thrashing Machine ever introduced has so 
fully met the wants of the farmer^ and in every contest with the 
most approved Separators from the North and West our machine 
has been awarded the premium for simplicity of construction, ease 
of draught, clean and rapid thrashing. With little power ap- 
plied, they are without a rival. We make these machines of 
two sizes, one 22-inch drum or cylinder, and 34-inch Straw Car- 
rier, which has capacity in good wheat of 200 bushels per day ; 
the other size is 28-inch cylinder and 34-inch Straw Carrier, 
capacity 300 bushels per day of ten hours. We recommend the 
28-inch cylinder Thrasher as the best and cheapest, capacity 
considered. We mount all of the above Thrashers on two 
wheels, so that they can be hauled by one or two horses from 
place to jilace, or from one farm to the other, by being attached

Sinclair & Co.'s Spur-Gear Power. 

This is probably the oldest, and at the same time one of the 
best Stationary Horse Powers, for farm use, in the country. It 
is simple, strong and durable, and will last, with ordinary care, 
from sixteen to twenty years, in constant use. Most of the 
farmers of the Eastern and Western Shores of Maryland and 
Virginia are familiar Avith this Power for the last thirty-five 
years, and all speak of it still in terms of praise, many of them 
preferring it to more modern invented machines. 

We make three sizes, complete Avith extra gearing, viz : 

No. 1 — Four-Horse PoAver, price |125. 

No. 2 — Six or Eight Horse PoAver, price $175.

SELF-REGULATING 

(jrain Separator, Cleaner and Bagger. 

This machine is fully repre- 
sented in the accompanying 
cut. It is particularly adapted 
to the farmers' use, being con- 
sidered by them the most con- 
venient and efficient Thrasher 
^.,z^:.:j=,s?~=^^,^^..^-^,=-^=^^~^^,^^^^.==^ and Separator in use. It has 

a truck witn two wheelb, by which it can be conveniently transported 
from place to place with one or two horses. The Separator or Cleaner 
is on an entirely new principle, there being no riddles or screens 
used ; the grain, when separated from the straw, passes over spiral, 
grooved rollers. The wind from the fan, being directed immediately 
on the rollers, thoroughly separates the chaff from the grain. If the 
grain is free from filth the Thrasher will clean the grain suitable for 
market. The machine will thrash and clean all kinds of gram gene- 
rally thrashed with the common machine, and requires no more horse 
power. It is simple, easily managed, reliable, durable, and is con- 
sidered by us a first-class machine. There are two sizes of this 
Thrasher ; the large size requires the power of eight horses, and the 
small size the power of six horses.

The Advance Mower Machine. 

This is a macbiue with two imlependent Driving Wheels, free of Gear. TTie 
Frame is made of one Solid Piece of Iron, has Steel Shafts, with a simple and 
powerful Gear, located directly in the centre of the frame, and under the driver's 
seat, to keep it free from dirt or sand, and so constructed that all parts can be 
removed from the Main Frame,iox ihc purpose of cleaning or repairing, without 
unscrewing a bolt. 

The Tongue, or Draft Pole, is so arranged in relation to the Frame and Finger- 
Bar as to entirely obviate side-draft, and prevent any weight upon the horses' 
necks; also to prevent any unnecessary pressure of the Finger- Bar upon the 
ground. The Finger-Bar is hinged directly to the Pole, by means of Wrought 
Iron supports, in such manner that any strain, created by meeting with an ob- 
struction, is directly communicated to the Draft Pole, instead of the Main Frame 
and Wo7-king Parts. By this new arrangement we not only obviate the liability 
of breaking the working parts of the machine, but by drawing directly from the 
shoe of the Finger-Bar we obtain a much lighter draft. It is completely under 
the control of the driver; he can raise up either end independent of the other, 
or both ends together; can cut over an obstruction three feet high, and by means 
of a lever he can fold the bar to pass a tree, or transport the machine, without 
leaving his seat or stopping his team. 

The Hinge of the Cutter-Bar is so arranged in relation to the Cutters and 
Guards, that should the latter strike a rock or stone it will pass over it without 
injury to the machine, or even the necessity of raising them from the ground. 

The Points of the Cutters and Guards can be elevated or depressed to cut 
lodged or standing grass on rough or smooth bottom. This is effected by an 
extremely simple device, which adds nothing to the complication of the machine 
or its cost. It is perfectly adjustable to cut any required height from the 
ground, either by steel runners under each end of Finger-Bar, or by a pawl and 
ratchet on the lever, by which you can cut over very rough, stony land, or bog 
meadow. 

We would invite every Farmer about to purchase a First-Class Mower to 
lay aside every preference he may have in favor of any other machine now in 
the market, and first give this a thorough examination and trial, believing this 
to be as FAR AHKAD OF ANY OTHER TWO-WHEELED MOWERS 
as they are ahead of the old style one-wheeled horse-killers. 

Below we give the different Sizes and their Prices : 

Mowers, 4-feet 9-inch Cut, price $130 00 

Mowers, 4 feet 6-inch Cut, price 125 00

Besides the above-named machines, we can supply the " Kirby " Reaper, 
with the Baltimore Self-Rake. Also the "Kirby" Mowers, of which we have 
several sizes. 

We also keep the different sizes of the " Champion " Reapers and Movers. 
This is a very popular machine, and one that is guaranteed to give entire satis- 
faction. We have sold quite a number of them in the last few years, and from 
our experience we can recommend them with confidence to our customers.

SINCLAIR & CO.'S IMPROVED 




Wheat, Corn and Oat Fan Mill. 

The Wheat Fan is one of the most useful, as well as the most 
necessary machine on the farm. Every Farmer, however small 
his crop of grain, finds frequent use for it in cleaning Wheat, 
Corn, Oats, Seeds, &c. Its use will pay any farmer five times 
the iDrice paid for it, in cleaning his grain properly for market, 
in less thaji three years. 

We don't claim that we have the best Fan Mill in the world, 
hut we do clairii that we have a Fan that will clean as Avell, take 
out of wheat as much cockle, cheat, garlick, and filth, as any 
Fan made or sold in this country, besides claiming tliat our Fan 
is made of better materials, better workmanship, is stronger^ 
more durable, and better suited to large and small })lantations, 
than any Fan Mill in the country. 

We make three different sizes, the prices of which we give 
below : 

No. 3 Fan— Largest size Price, $44.00' 

" 2 " —Second size " 42.00

Improved Corn Planter. 

The above cut gives a correct view of our imj^roved Corn 
Planter and Seed Drill, which will be found the very best ma- 
chine of the kind ever offered to the farming public. 

Witli a man and horse, or small mule, from 10 to 12 acres per 
day can be planted, covered and rolled complete. 

This machine is very popular in Virginia, North and South 
Carolina, Georgia and other Southern States ; and of late years 
our Maryland farmers, seeing the advantages of drilled corn 
'over tlie old-style checkered plan, have eagerly taken hold of the 
drill. To all of whom we can refer for their experience in drill- 
ing corn. 

This machine is long and favorably kno^vn, we having been 
making from 150 to 250 machines per annum for the last sixteen 
years. 

In the saving of labor alone, (without saying anything of 
the saving of seed,) it will pay for itself in less tlian two years 
for any farmer who plants 40 acres corn per annum. 

For simplicity, durability, ease of draugjit and easy manage- 
ment, it has no equal in tliis country. 

i^I^ICE, - - - . _ 330. 

The machine can be regulated- to plant tlie corn any distance 
apart in the drill— say G, 12, 18, 24, 32 inches apart. 

This machine has taken over twenty first-class premiums in 
the last eight years.

SULKY CORN, COTTOI M TOBACCO CULTIVATOR. 

This Machine not only 
saves the labor of one man, 
but performs the work much 
better than the old way of 
plowing with the "single" 
or " double shovel " plows ; 
and it enables the aged and 
infirm to raise a crop of 
corn, who would not be able 
to endure the labor of walk- 
ing after the plow in the 
old way. 

It is no longer a question 
whether a Riding Cultiva- 
tor is a practical machine ; 
the question now is, Avhich 
is the best ? That is, Avhich 
does tlie best Avork ? Which 
is the most easily managed ?£•/. Which is the most durable ? 
Which is the most easily repaired ? In short, which is the 
most practical ? 

There is a variety of good Riding Plows in use, but we claim 
for the Buckeye many important points superior to any Sulky 
Corn Cultivator now in use. 

The principle of plowing corn with this machine is that of 
the "Double Shovel," which is admitted by practical Corn 
growers to be the best. 

Crooked rows can be plowed as well as straight ones ; it being 
80 arranged that the operator can, at will, move at once all four 
of the shovels eleven inches either way, without lifting them, 
and thus avoid tearing up hills that are out of line. The move- 
ment is made with the feet upon the beam when the operator is 
riding, as shown in the small cut, (next page,) and by lever 
" F " while the operator is walking. 

The operator can either ride or walk, and guide the machine 
without any alteration. 

A greater or less width is obtained by changing the bolt 
in one end of the rod that connects with the swinging bar 
"GG." 

The shovels can be instantly raised out of the ground for the 
purpose of turning at the ends, and cleaning the plows of 
trash, and in passing from field to field, by means of the crank 

C 



And Descriptive Catalogue. 3§ 

The Plow is provided with shields to protect the young corn.^ 
from being covered during the first working. These shields can 
be taken off when the Corn becomes larger. 

High Wheels and Axles. 

The axles are sufficiently high to pass over Corn, Tobacco of-' 
Cotton, the last plowing, without breaking it down. 

To Prevent the Plow from Breaking. 

It is so arranged that when any of the shovels strike a stump, 
root, stone, or other hard substance, it will break a wooden pin, 
in the lower end of the brace, whicli allows the shovel to turn 
back, and thus prevent breaking the Plow. This avoids the 
necessity of making the Plow so heavy that either shovel must 
stand the force of two horses. 

To Regulate the Depth. 

Change the pins in the tops of the standards 'AA.' 

For Marking Out Corn Ground. 

Take off the front shovels and adjust the rear shovels to the 
width you desire, and you will find it to be just the thing to 
mark out your ground before planting. It is better adapted for 
this purpose than any other Plows, for the reason that the 
operator has control of the side motion of the rear as well as the 
front shovels. 

A Cultivator for Plowing in Wheat. 

This machine is well adapted for plowing in Wheat and Grain 
of all kinds, stirring fallow ground, and stirring fall plowing 
for Corn and other crops in the Spring. For this purpose there 
is an extra or fifth Shovel attached in front of the other Shovels. 

We could give many Certificates attesting the superiority of 
the Buckeye Corn Cultivator, but it only needs to be seen by 
any practical farmer to satisfy him that it is just the article he 
wants. "Certificates" and "Premiums on Implements are 
about "played out," for no machine now-a-days is so poor but. 
it can boast of Premiums and Certificates. 

We can recommend the Cultivator with confidence to our 
customers as the best of the kind in use.

This machine is very popular in England and France, where 
it is considered the leading machine on every large farm for the 
preparation of the land ibr the respective crops. 

No harrow can possibly reduce plowed land to an equal fine 
state as the Clod Roller ; neither is there any implement so 
valuable for rolling wheat in the spring. 

This machine is invaluable on stiff clay lands, which are 
inclined to run together in the form of clods and hard lumps. 
It is particularly useful to all our tobacco growers. In the 
island of Cuba the tobacco growers could not well get along 
without it. 

This machine is highly prized by our i)ractical farmers of 
Maryland, Virginia, Tennessee, and is used in parts of New 
York and Pennsylvania. Tliis machine has always received a 
first-class premium at every State or county agricultural fair at 
which, we have exhibited it. It is such a machine that every 
large practical farmer should own.

In England no farm is without a roller. It is valuable for 
setting wheat and grasses in the spring, breaking and pulver- 
iziirg clods after plowing, binding sand soils, Sec. 

The sections are of cast iron, and a roller of this kind, when

IMPROVED LIME SPREADER. 

The accompanying cut shows, at a 
glance^ the character of this great labor- 
saving machine. This machine is substan- 
tially made. The cylinder is made of cast 
iron, in the ends of which are fitted double- 
bearing cast iron heads, through which a solid two-inch wrought 
iron axle passes, making it the strongest arrangement for the 
purpose ever invented. 

The surface of the cylinder is studded with small knobs or 
breakers, which run in cylindrical spiral lines along the surface 
of the, cylinder ; these sj^iral knobs pass through a comb of 
teeth or cogs placed one on each side the bottom of the hopper, 
the action of which breaks and pulverizes all hard substances to 
a fine state. 

The machine will distribute all kinds of Lime, either stone or 
oyster-shell, in the most perfect manner. It will save twice its 
cost, in way of labor, in two years jto any farmer who uses any 
quantity of Lime.

SCULLY'S 

PATENT PORTABLE 

CIDER AND WIM MILL AND PRESS 




Patented July Sth, 1864, 

The cut shows very plainly the construction of this Mill and 
Press. 

It is now only in its tenth year since the date of the Patent, 
and we venture to say, without the fear of contradiction, that 
there is no Mill in the country that has received as much 
patronage as the above named Mill in the same time. We 
made several hundreds of these Mills last year, and could have 
sold many more were we able to manufacture in time. The 
demand increases for them every year, and we are safe in saying 
that they are considered by all wlio have used them the best 
Mill in the country. A good sized boy can ivorh it u'itli ease, 
and grind from 20 to 30 busliels apples per hour. It is the 
simplest Mill in use, and the only one that ivill grind grapes 
ivithout breaking the seed. 



44 R. Sinclair & Co.'s Pictorial 

It possesses great advantages over the old style Mills now in 
use, and needs only a trial to satisfy any one that it will perform 
all that it is recommended to do. 

The following are some of its principal features : 

1st. It has a lotary iron knife cylinder which works between' 
a stationary row of knives in the side of the hopper, by which 
the apples are cut into small pieces. 

2d. It has two iron crushing rollers, with angular flutes, 
which receive the cut apples from the cutting knife cylinder, by 
which they are effectually crushed to a pumice. The cutting 
and crushing process in this Mill is its greatest point of excel- 
lence'over all other Mills that merely grate the apples. 

3d. It will do more work in a given time, with less power, 
than any^ Mill now in use ; grinding finer and more uni- 
formly. 

4th. It is a AVine as well as a Cider Mill, and in fact the only 
one we know of that will properly grind drapes without break- 
ing the seed. For simplicity, compactness, strength, economy 
of power and quality of Avork performed, challenges comparison. 
It is at once " the Machine " so greatly needed, and should be 
owned by every farmer, gardener and fruit grower in the 
country. 

There are many thousands of tliese Mills now in use in Mary- 
land, Virginia, and North Carolina, all of which have given 
entire satisfaction to our customers. 

We make two sizes of the above Mill. Tlie large size is in- 
tended to be run either by hand or power, and is of large ca^mc- 
ity. The small size is for hand power, and is suitable for farm- 
ers and others who only make a moderate quantity of Cider and 
Wine. This size, however, can be run by power, and when run 
to its full capacity will make a large quantity per day. 

We can recommend the above Mill as one of the best in the 
country. 

Large size Mill, No. 1, price $45.00

PORTABLE HAY PRESS. 

The above cut represents our Hand Portable Press. We make twa 
kinds, the Lever Eatchet Press and the Chain and Roller Press, v: The 
Lever Press has been in use niany years, and has always given satis- 
faction ; it is easily worked by two men ; it is strong and durable, and 
not easily got out of order, there being very little iron in its construc- 
tion, being principally made of the best white ash. 

The Chain and Roller Press is also a hand power press ; is easily 
worked by two men; is made very substantial, and is preferred to 
the Ratchet Press by many of our customers. 

For strength, durability, simplicity and ease of management, we 
can recommend them to our friends and customers.

DIRECTIONS. 

For Settixo up the Machine. --Screw the joint bolts tiglit^ 
swing the braces to place and fasten them. Put the long small 
link over the two hanging lever links, and fasten the lever in 
place ; tlien place the paid witli a long round liandle in the 
shortest centre link, and the one with the next longest handle 
in the outer lever. Then slide tlie lifting bar through them all^ 
and the machine is ready for work. 

To Use the Hooks. — Set tliem across the stump as low as 
possible, and while one man draws them tight with one lever, 
the other drives them last with a wooden bettle. When this is 
done, both men work on the levers. For small stumps use

three-quarter inch cable cliaiii with a ring on one end. Slip- 
noose the chain around the stump and draw it fast ; then let 
down the lifting bar by pressing the paul handles to the bar ; 
then set the chain link next the ring edgewise in the lock. 

If the machine spreads on soft or wet ground, two planks five 
or six feet long and twelve inches wide, connected at the ends 
by chains or rods, should be placed under the feet ; or, if the 
ground is not very wet the jjlanks will do without chains if two 
pins are in the plank at the outside edge of the feet, which 
should be on the inside of the plank.

This Steamer is designed to steam food for stock. It is cer- 
tainly the best, simijlest, and most efficient Steamer made in the 
United_ States. It is perfectly safe, as there is no possibility of 
it blowing up. A boy ten years of age can manage it. It will 
generate more steam with less fuel than any other Steamer we 
know of Every Dairyman, Stock-Feeder, and Cheese Factory 
m the country should use ''Anderson's" Steamer. We can, if 
necessary, furnish certificates from parties to whom we sold them 
last season.

STEAMING FEED FOR STOCK. 

Wefind in the United States Agricultural Keport for 1865, 
an article on Steaiviing Food for Stock, from the pen of Mr. e' 
W. Stewart, of New York, wherein he gives, as the result of 
several years' experience, the following summary : 

First. It renders mouldi/ hay, straw and corn-stalks perfectly sweet and palatable 
Animals seem to relish straw taken from a stack which has been wet and badl v dam- 
aged for ordinary use, and even in any condition except "dry-rot." Steamimj will 
restore tts sweetness. When keeping a large stock, we have often purchased stacks 
of straw which would have been worthless for feeding in the ordinary way 
and have been able to detect no difference after steaming, in the smell, or relish with 
which it was eaten. 

_ Second. It diffuses the odor of the bran, corn-meal, oil-meal, carrots or whatever 
is mixed with the food through the whole mass, and thus it may cheaiil'v be flavored 
to suit the animal. 

Third. It softens the tough fibre of the dry corn-stalk, rye straw, and other hard 
material, rendering it almost like green succulent food, and easily masticated and 
digested by the animal. 

Fourth. It renders Beans and Peas agreeable food for horses, as well as other 
animals, and thus enables the feeder to combine more nitrogenous food in the diet 
of his ani.nals. 

Fifth. It enables the feeder to turn everything raised into food for his stock without 
lessening the value of his manure. Indeed, the manure from steamed food decom- 
poses more rapidly, and is, therefore, more valuable than when used in a fresh state 
Manure made from steamed food is always ready for use, and is re-rardcd by those 
who have used it as much more valuable for the same bulk than that made from 
uncooked food. v. i uiu 

Sixth. We have found it to cwre incipient Afat'c? in horses, and horses havin"- a 
cough for several months, at pastures, have been cured in two weeks on steamed food 
It has a remarkable effect upon horses with a sudden cold, and in constipation." 

4 



50 R. Sinclair & Co.'s Pictorial 

Horses fed upon it seem much less liable to disease, in fact, in this respect it seems to 
have all the good qualities of grass, the natural food of animals. 

Seventh. It produces a marked difference in the appearance of the animal, at once 
causing the coat to become smooth and of a brighter color, regulates the digestion, 
makes tlie animal more contented and satisfied, enables fattening stock to eat their 
food with less labor, and consequently requires less to keep up the animal heat, giv- 
ing working animals time to eat all that is necessary for them in the intervals of 
labor, and this is of much importance, esi)tcially with horses. It also enables the 
feeder io fatten animals in one-third less time. 

Eighth. It saves at least one-third of the food. "We have found two bushels of cut 
and cooked hay to satisfy cows as well as three bushels of uncooked hay, and the 
manure in the case of the uncooked hay contained much more fibrous matter unneu- 
tralizcd by the animal. This is particularly the case with horses. These have been 
the general results of our practice, and we presume do not materially differ from that 
of others who have given cooked food a fair trial. 

Heretofore the appliances for steaming feed have generally been 
of a temporary character, (except where feeding has been done 
on so large a scale as to warrant the outlay for expensive sta- 
tionary boilers) ; usually it has been done with kettles or caul- 
drons with closely fitting covers that have to be removed to refill 
with water, and to which there are many other objections. 

It will at once be seen that to come into general use a boiler 
should be made that is jjerfectly safe, j^ortable, low j^ressure, with 
reliable water-feeder , and have no intricate parts, such as cannot 
be comprehended by the most inexperienced. 

We have no hesitancy in saying that the Anderson Steamer 
has all these requirements. It is made of wrought iron, as 
thoroughly riveted and finished as the best high-pressure steam 
engine boilers ; has a reliable automatic or self-acting water- 
feeding apparatus^ safety-valve, vacuum-valve, steam and water 
gauge cocks complete, making it perfectly secure against ex- 
plosion. 

It is peculiar in construction, being, in fact, one complete double 
boiler within another, the two communicating, one with the 
other. The fire-space is inside of this, thus giving an extraor- 
dinary amount of fire-surface in proportion to the size, No. 3, 
or medium size, having 3,853 square inches fire-surface. 

It is set on a cast-iron base, making it as secure from fire as 
un ordinary stove. Weighs from 300 to 500 lbs., and is there- 
fore portable, and can be used in the open air or in any building 
where there is a flue sutficiently large to receive the smoke-pipe. 

Having so large a fire-surface it requires but little fuel, and 
all the attention necessary is that the water-tank is kej^t sup- 
plied, and the fire kept up. The most inexperienced man or 
boy can soon learn to use it with perfect safety. 

REASONS WHY THE ANDERSON STEAMER iS THE BEST. 

1st. It has greater area of Fire-Surface than any other Steamer 
of the same size. 

2d. It will burn either Wood or Coal. 

3d. It takes less fuel than any other Steamer of the same 
capacity. 



And Descriptive Catalogue. 51 

4tli. It will "get up steam" in less time than any other 
Steamer in the market. 

5th. It will cook more feed, or heat more'Vater, in a given 
time than any other Steamer of the same size and expense. 

6th. It has an automatic or self-regulating water-feeder. 

7th. It is more durable than any other Steamer, for the reason 
that it is made of boiler iron, and has water all around the fire- 
hox. 

8th. It is perfectly reliable, and is as safe as a tea-kettle. 

9th. It is so simple in its construction that a careful hoy ten 
years old can operate it with perfect safety. 

10th. It will not fill up with lime. 

11th. It is more portable, and can be moved to any part of 
the farm with ease. 

12th. It can be applied to a greater variety of purposes than 
any other Steamer. 

13th. It excels any other Steamer in the icorld. 



Differences between Cooked and Dry Feed. 

Whitewater, "Wis., July 19, ISTl. 

Sir : — In reply to your question of \vli.'\t difference I find between feedinj? raw and 
cooked feed, I would say, I feed 21 hogs 26 bushels of corn (72 lbs. ears to the 
bushel), shelled, ground and cooked. It fed them 13 days; they gained 520 
pounds, or a triiie less than two pounds per day. I then fed the,same hogs 25 
bushels of the same kind of corn, ground and soured. It fed them eight days ; they 
gained 260 pounds, or a trifle over one and a half ])ounds per day. I weighed my 
hogs in bo'ih instances before commencing on each kind of feed, and set it down in 
my scale-book, and weighed them when each kind was fed out You may judge I 
Avas surprised at the result. In one case I made 20 pounds of pork from 72 pounds 
of ear corn, in the other ton and a half. My corn cost me 75 cents per bushel, and I 
sold my hogs for eight cents, live weight. In the one case I got $1.60 for my corn, 
in the other I got 83 1-5 cents. After deducting 75 cents — the price of iny com — I 
have as profit for feeding, in the one case 85 cents, in the other 8 1-5 cents. 

It will be seen from tiie above the gain was not so much difference per day as in 
the time the^- gained. In the one case they gained nearly two pounds per day for 
thirteen days, in the other they gained a triiie over one and a half pounds for but 
eight days. With pork at eight cents per ])ound I gained 76 4-5 cents on every 
bushel 1 feed by steaming, and I can save enough in 360 bushels to more than pay 
for a No. 3 Steamer, after paying for extra trouble in cooking it. I have used a 
Cast-Iron Steamer for three years. It is better than none; but of little value in 
comparison to the No. 3 Anderson Steamer which I now have. From actual experi- 
ence I think tliere is as much, or more, benefit derived by cooking vegetables, such 
as potatoes, pumpkins, and the like, as in cooking meal. 

I can cheerfully recommend your Steamer to all farmers and feeders, as being just 
what they want, and something they can not well aflbrd to do without. 

Respectfully yours,] 

C. J[. CLARK. 

Saves 40 per Cent, of Grain. 

West Liberty, Logan Co., 0., Feb. 4, 1871. 

Messrs. P. P. Mast & Co. — Sirs: I have bcTen using one of Anderson's Feed 
Steamers about two years. It works to my entire satisfaction, cooking the feed 
quickly and with a small amount of fuel. By feeding my hogs with steamed feci I 
think I save about 40 per cent, of the grain, besides my hogs thrive much better and 



52 R. Sinclair & Co.'s Pictorial 

grow rauch faster tbaii ubcn fed on dry grain. I consider it a valuable macbine- 
It pays, and I would recommend it to all feeders of stock. 

Yours truly, 

JACOB C. RISER. 

Every Farmer Should Have One. 

West Liherty, 0., Feb, 8, 1871. 

Mr. V. D. ANnERSON. — Dear Sir: I bave been using one of your Steamers, and I 
consider it tbe best tbing'for cooking feed for stock that 1 bave ever seen. It takes 
but very little fuel. The cobs from tbe corn you steam will about keep up the fire. 
I tbink steaming is tbe [iroper plan for cooking feed. I have cooked in kettles, but 
it would stick and burn, and much of the feed was wasted, besides it took at least 
four times as much wood and time as your Steamer, to cook the same quantity. 
E.xpcrience has proved to me that cooking feed for stock will save at least one-third 
of tbe grain, and the stock will be much healthier and grow much faster. Every 
farmer should bave one of these Steamers. 

Ycr3' truly yours. 



From a Butcher. 



JOHN NEWELL. 



Aurora, III , 18T0. 



I used tbe Steamer I purchased from you — " Anderson's Universal," No. 3 — about 
niv butchering, beating my water and boiling the oft'als of tbe shop. I kill from I'i 
to' 14 bead of cattle per week, G to 1'2 bogs, and 20 sheep and lambs. I bave saved 
$120.00 per year in grease. 1 keep 50 hogs and feed tbem on the offall after cook- 
ing. It docs not cost me 50 cents per week to keep the hogs. I run the Steamer 
every day except Saturday, and use 300 pounds of coal per week, and always bave hot 
water for scalding my hogs. Yours, 

L. HAYWARD. 

CooKESviLLE, Wis., June 20, 1870. 

You ask me bow I like my Steamer, purchased of you la November. In reply, 
I would say, it does all and more than I expected. I bave used it in cooking food 
for from 8(J to 150 bogs, and am satisfied tbat I save, in corn-meal, one-half in feed, 
besides my bogs do better and grow fal^ter. I am satisfied I can grow a hog up to 
200 pounds weight in one-half the time that I can on raw feed. 1 have used it in 
steaming potatoes and whole grain, and find it a great saving; and for heating 
water tor butchering and other purposes, it beats anything t ever saw. I can safely 
recommend it to all farmers and feeders as being a safe and practical Steamer, and 
one that every farmer needs.

Fun to Make Pork. 

Batavia, III., July 23, 18T0. 

Dear Sir: Your favor of Feb. 24 is just received, and I hasten to reply. You ask 
how we like your Steamer. In reply, I wish to state tbat it more than fills the bill. 
We are cooking for 125 hogs. It requires but four hours a day to keep a supply of 
feed on hand. The cobs "more than supply the fuel for it. Having had a good 
opi)ortunity to see the diflerent Boilers and Steamers for cooking feed, we do not 
hesitate to pronounce your Steamer the Dexter of the age. With a Nicholas ^^■ind- 
Mill, Lballenge Feed-Mill, and an Anderson Steamer, it is nothing but fun to make

. Nora, III., Nov. 22, 18G9. 

Dear Sir:— I have not been using your Steamer very long, though I can say 
positively it is tbe best thing I ever saw of the kind, and is entitled to every thing 
you claim for it. I do say, because I know it, that the cobs will cook all the corn 
"that comes off tbem, I can save nearly half my corn by cooking it. I can do cook-

ing witliout sweating or stirring to keep it from burning on, as I had to do with the 
so-called Agricultural Boiler," which I iiave used, and can do the cookin<^ in one- 
quarter of the time, and with one-fourth of the fuel.

The Steamer Saved It. 



Farmincjtox, III., Feb. 15, 1870. 
I bought of A. K. Montgomery one of your No. 3 Anderson Steamers. Have 
used It in feeding some 100 head of fattening hogs, and have some four or live 
hundred bushels more corn left than I e.vpected. Thk Stea.mer savkd it. It is all 
and more than I e.xpected. Yours, &c., 

A. J. IIARLAM. 

Camuen Mills, III., Oct, 22, 1870. 
Gentlemen : This is to certifv- that I have bought one of your Steamers from vour 
Agent, Joseph Hardy, and am feeding one hundred and thirty hogs, and three milch 
cows, who cat night and morning two pails each, and I feel certain that the hogs 
nave done better on the steamed food than thev would have done on twice the 
amount of raw. Any one wishing to see it operate can cill at the CamJen Mill.

Safe and Practical Money-Making Machine. 

Ln-dianai'olis, Ind., Feb. 24, 1870. 
This is to certify that I am using one of Anderson's Universal Steamers for cooking 
reea for dairy purposes, and can say that I am very highly pleased with it, and can 
sately recommend it to all dairymen, and every one that is feedino- stock. I am con- 
iment that it will give general satisfaction. My cows gained rapidly in milk, and 
nave clone much better in every way since I have been cooking their feed, and on 
at least one-lourth less feed, than they had before. I have tested ihe Steamer 
tuoroughly, and know it to be a safe, practical, and money-making machine. 

Very truly yours,

Pays for Itself in Ninety Days. 

Oregon, Ogle County, III., Feb. 15, 1870. 
You want to know how my Steamer docs. I would say, it is in all respect* satis- 
mctory. My experience of the Winter warrants me in making the foUowino- state- 
ment : . ° ° 

1st. It is economical as to time— I can cook three barrels of food per hour ; 
economical as to fuel- 1 can cook three barrels of feed with 25 lbs. soft coal, or an 
armful of good wood one foot long; economical as to quantity of food necessary to 
grow or fat hogs or cattle— I actually save at least one-third the stock eats ; does 
them more good than the whole fed raw. 

2d. It is very simple— my son eight years old can operate it. 
_ 3d. I ca.n puy/or U m ninety days by saving in feeding twenty hogs, or iu milkinc' 
SIX good cows. ■ = . o I o 

4th. Ihave the first man yet to examine it who does not say it is the nc plus ultra 
of machines for cooking feed and heating water.

Would not Take a Boiler as a Gift. 

Dry Creek Settle.ment, Linn Co., Iowa, Dec. 7, 1870. 
Gentlemen : The No. 2 Anderson Universal Steamer that I bought of you gives 
t e t,en/ best sansfactwn. I had made up my mind previous to i,ui chasing Steamer, 
that! would get an Agricultural Boiler. 1 wouldn't take a Boiler as a gift now 
and do without my Steamer. Some of my neighbors desired to see the Steamer 



54

worked ; I cooked three barrels of shorts and corn-meal in 45 minutes ; one of my 
neighbors who timed me, has since purchased one of your Steamers. I cheerfully 
recommend your Steamers to all my friends. 

Very respectfully, 

DAVID JOH^'SON. 

Cheese Factory. 

Lakk Mills, Wis., Jan. 5, 18V1. 
You asked me in regard to the capacity of my Ko. 4 Anderson Steamer, and 
whether it gives satisfaction. In reply, I have to say, it has proved itself capable of 
doing all the work needed. I used it at my cheese factory during the month of 
November. I was then running but one vat of 4,500 pounds. The first half of the 
month the vat was full each morning, the temperature being sometimes as low as 50 
deg. I had no difficulty in heating it as quickly as is needed. I am satisfied from 
my experiments with the No. 4, that it is capable of doing the work for our largest 
cheese factories. I have no hesitation in saying that I think your Steamer the most 
economical plan for doing the heating of cheese factories that I know of, doiug the 
most work with the least fuel. 

I am, yours truly, 

STEPHEN FAVILL. 

Mr. N. C. Hill, the well-known dairyman of Ottumwa, Iowa, says; Your Steamer- 
gives iierfect satisfaction, and is all you claim, and is satisfied he can save the price 
of one every si.x months in cooking feed for his cows.

UNION WASHING MACHINE. 

It requires only a trial 
to convince any practical 
housewife of tlie untold 
blessings this machine will 
afford in the family. Of all 
the different kinds made- 
and sold in the country, we' 
regard the Union Washer 
the best. The washing is 
^ done by gentle pressure, and 
with far less wear on the 
clothes than is the case when

Ciicuiiiber Farm Pumps. 



The Cucumber Wood Pumps have been 
in general use in the West for many years, 
and during the last four years large quan- 
tities of them have been sold in the East. 
They are made of the wild cucumber wood, 
which is particularly adajited to the mak- 
ing of pumps, from 'the fact that it does 
not affect the water, and is not liable to 
crack. Tliere are a great mauy different 
makes of these pumps, some of which are 
^ of very inferior quality. We, however, 
® jiresent to our trade an article which we 
are sure is the best in tlie marJcef. The 
length of the pumps is such that the 
working parts are placed below the reach 
of frost in the coldest weather, the water 
being vented just above the bucket, so that 
although the upper part of the pump is 
freed from water, the working parts remain 
immersed and no priming is required in 




Below we give the different lengths of stock, with 
attached :

THERMOMETER CHURN. 

This Churn is so con- 
structed that the cream or 
milk is readily brought to 
the desired temperature with- 
out mixing water or other 
substances, and the tempera- 
ture certainly and definitely 
determined, which proves in- 
valuable in the art of making 
butter. 

One improvement consists 
in the construction of a double 
bottom, made in the form of a 
semi-circle, of two sheets of 
zinc or other metal, placed 
one above the other. The 
cream or milk rests on the 
uppermost ; between the two sheets is a space or chamber, into which 
is introduced cold or warm water, as may be required to increase or 
•diminish the temperature of the cream or milk. If regulated accord- 
ing to directions, this Churn will produce butter in from five to ten 
•minutes. This is, at present, the most popular Churn in our market.

R. Sinclair & Co.'s Pictorial 



for many years a large Seed Grower in Wethcrsfield, Conn., will 
do the work of six men with lioes. It is the only implement 
that ■pulls ike tveeds and thoroughly i)ulverizes the soil ; runs 
close to the rows and takes out all the weeds not directly in line 
of the plants, without covering them, however small, and throws 
tlie earth up to or away from the rows. It is readily adjusted to 
clean the space hetween rows from G to 15 inches apart at one 
passage. 

Its great superiority over other weeders consists in the adjust- 
able rakes, with sharp angular teeth set at an acute angle to the 
rows, in the shape of the slotted iron cultivator frame, and of 
the three cast steel cultivator teeth, used in combination, with 
which the operator cuts close to the rows and takes away all the 
weeds as fast as he can walk and shove the machine, which 
leaves the ground as even and fine as a flower garden. 

With it Onion Growers and Market Gardeners may largely 
increase their sowing without danger of being swamped witli 
weeds. 

Every Machine lias two rakes and tliree cultivator teeth. 
which make a Combined Cultivator and Weeder. 

!^S"For all small-drill culture, it is as much superior to the 
hoe as the mowers and reapers are to the scythe and cradle. 

For particulars send for special circulars relating to the above,, 
gotten up by the manufacturers.

IMPROVED 




GR51ATEST RECORD 

IN THE 

History of Agricultural Implements. 

THIRTEEN (13) FIRST PREMIUMS 

Were awarded upon our Unloading Apparatus, during 
the Fall of 1869. 

Successfal in Every Trial and Exhibition at Nine (9) different State Fairs. 

Nine (9) First Premiums upon Rogers' Original Harpoon 
Horse Hay Fork Improved, and Four (4) First Premiums 
upon Nellis' Stacker and Loader, (the latter was awarded 
first premium in every instance where a premium was offered 
upon the Schedule of the Societies,) and in addition thereto, 
at nearly all of the different Fairs we visited or caused to be 
visited, our goods were awarded Honorable Mention, by the 
Executive Committees, who deemed it their duty to facilitate 
parties in securing the best and the most Practical Implements. 



76 



R. Sinclair & Co.'s Pictorial 




We pride ourselves in presenting to the public this 
season a Horse Fork Pulley superior in most respects to 
any yet introduced to the farming public. The casing is 
made of wrought iron, the pin of cold rolled iron, and the 
wheel of wood, prepared by a process known only to our- 
selves. It only weighs about one and a half pounds, and 
all swivel, therefore, can.be used at any place desired. 

We are confident that it will meet the endorsement of every farmer 

who uses it. 




Patented March 1, 1870. 

This simple and practical 
device will overcome the great 
inconvenience and danger that 
has been experienced in put- 
ting up and taking down Horse 
Hay Fork Pulleys ; also vari- 
ous other purposes in which 
the farmer has frequent occa- 
sion for its use. It is novel in 
its construction, and requires 
but a few moments to become familiar in putting it up or taking it 
down, or changing from one point to another, which can be done in a 
moment's time without a ladder, thereby enabling the operator to 
convey and deposit the hay at almost any desired point or direction. 
It is deemed indispensable by all farmers who have become familiar 
with its convenience, as its nominal cost is no consideration as com- 
pared to its value and advantages.

Improved Hand Corn Planter. 




This Planter has been greatly improved since last year, and 
now is not only the neatest and most perfect working machine, 
but also one of the most durable ever offered to the public. 

In order to decide the question of durability beyond a doubt, 
a number of them have been run by machinery at the rate of 90 
strokes per minute for 10 days, (which would equal the planting 
of about 200 acres.) When taken down and submitted for in- 
spection tliey showed very little wear, and any of them would 
undoubtedly last to plant a thousand acres. 

The case is a Sheet Iron Tube 3 indies in diamefer, the plun- 
ger being a spiral steel rod supplied with a cast iron foot. It 
cannot give out or clog. It feeds at the bottom, the corn being 
agitated to prevent any possibility of its missing. It weighs 
only 4 lbs., and is so perfectly simple that it cannot get out of 
order, and needs no skill in using. Can be used single or double 
at will, spreads the corn evenly and regularly over a space of 
three inches, and is so constructed that the operator can see the 
corn deposited in the ground. Has a stop to regulate the 
depth and covers the corn. 

Price, ----- $4.00.

Self-Sharpening Delaware Plow. 




This plow is much in use in Maryhind and Delaware. It is 
of easy draft, simple, durable, and performs its work to the 
satisfaction of farmers more generally than any of the common 
plows now in use. It has a reversible point and share made of 
chilled cast iron, and for most soils equal to steel. In some 
parts of Georgia this plow is much used, and is becoming more 
poj)ular there every year.

M. & H. IRON BEAM PLOW. 

NEW SERIES OF IRON BEAM PLOWS, 

We Iiave recently added to our large assortment of Plows a 
nev\^ series, running from light two-horse to heavy three-horse, 
made upon the model of the Avell-known Peekskill Plow, but 
greatly improved in shape, and better adapted to this section of 
country. They are made entirely of cast iron, having high cir- 
cular shaped beams at the standard or throat, which prevents 
choking in Aveedy or grassy land ; and have two screw holes in 
the share, making them much stronger and more durable than 
the old patterns. The front mould, as shown in the cut, is for 
the purpose of skimming the surface soil where weeds abound, 
and the larger mould following completely buries the sod cut by 
the small one. The front Plow can be regulated to any depth 
by the means of a screw working in the standard. 

This front Plow can be detached in a few seconds if not needed. 

We furnish the Plows with and without the front Plow. 

Number 35j, light two-horse, jirice $8 50 

" 36 two-horse, " 10 50 

" 37 three-horse, " 1150 

When front Plows are wanted, an additional charge will be made 
of two dollars. 



TITUS IRON BEAM PLOW. 




This Plow resembles the new series Improved Iron Beam Plow, 
being constructed somewhat in the same manner, and possesses all their 
advantages. Being a larger sized Plow, it requires a heavier team to 
work it. These Plows have been and are now in common use by many 
of our largest farmers in Southern Maryland and A'irginia, by wdiom 
they are highly prized.

Eicli's Ii^ori Beam. P1ot\^. 

This is a very popular Plow in the State of Delaware, and of late 
years in some sections of Southern Maryland. It is of light draft. 
Being constructed entirely of iron, except the handles, renders it very 
durable and substantial. It has a high, curved standard, which insures 
it from choking in filthy land. We are making this as well as the 
other Iron Plows named, and as such we recommend it to our cus- 
tomers. 

We make only the two-horse size.

This Plow, where used, is much admired, both for ease of draught 
and the perfect manner in which it does its work. The Plow is 
capable of plowing deep where the land is infested with weeds, turn- 
ing them well under, leaving the farrow slices perfectly level. The 
mould and standard are cast in one piece, and the standard is mortised 
into the beam, which stands high, not being liable to choke. It is 
highly recommended by all our farmers who use them.

Maryland Self-Sharpening* Plow. 

This excellent Plow has been long and favorably known in almost 
all sections of Maryland and Virginia. The points are made of steel 
bars, with five holes, by which the point can be let out as it wears. 
They are also reversible', that is, they can be turned over, end for end, 
at least a dozen times, thus being equal in durability to a dozen ordi- 
nary points. 

The share is made either of cast iron or steel, as desired, which is 
also self-sharpening. 

This Plow is much admired for the perfect manner in which it does 
the work in sod and hard clay soils.

PREIVIIUIVl SUB-SOIL PLOW, 




This cat represents our Premium Sub-Soil Plow, This Plow 
was awarded the first premium at our late Agricultural State 
Fair (18G9) over all other varieties on the- ground, and at sev- 
eral State and County Fairs for the last ten years it has received 
either a first-class premium or diploma. 

We make three sizes of these Plows, all of which are con- 
structed on the principle of the most approved Scotch Plow, one 
of which was imported from Scotland some years ago for the 
purpose of furnishing the most approved model. By modifying 
and simplifying its construction, at the same time making some 
important improvements^ the farmers and planters of this coun- 
try are now supplied with Plows lighter than the Scotch Plow, 
yet better adapted to our soils, and of equal capacit}-, at a much- 
less price. 

They are now much used in different sections of the United 
States with great satisfaction, and the demand for them is con- 
stantly and rapidly increasing. 

These Plows are used by following directly after the team, 
which turns up the surface soil, and in the same furrow. This 
is of great advantage to the crops, both in dry and wet land. 
In the former, the sub-soil being deeply broken up and well 
pulverized, the moisture is retained much longer than it other- 
wise would be, and the roots of "plants can descend much lower 
and wider for their food ; while in the latter the excess of mois- 
ture filters below and is readily carried off; they, however, 
require that the earth below them be sufficiently porous to admit 
of the escape of an excess of moisture, or their beneficial use is 
not felt until the land is well drained.

IMPROVED POTATO-DIGGING PLOW. 




This is one of the most useful implements on any farm on 
which potatoes are raised. It is of light draft, and simple in 
construction, A pair of small horses or mules, with a man ta 
drive, will easily dig potatoes as fast as twenty men can j^ick 
them up. It turns them out so clean that scarcely one bushel 
in fifty, whether small or large, that is not exposed on the sur- 
face. This is a most important advantage. The standard is so 
high as to allow of its- working freely, without choking from 
weeds and potato vines. It works well in all kinds of soil, but 
is particularly adapted to light land. Tlie standard is made of 
cast iron, and is very high, to prevent choking. The share is 
double-edged. The fingers are made of the best wrought iron, 
and are used to separate the potatoes from the earth and place 
them on the surface, so as to be easily gathered. 

Price $15 00.

Sinclair & Co.'s Improved G-ang Plow. 




The cut represents a three-furrowed Gang Plow, and is prin- 
cipally used for seeding Avlieat, oats^ and other grain sown broad- 
cast. This plow is considered equal to tlic drill by many of our 
farmers in Maryland. We also make them with four furrows 
for the same purpose. The two-furrow is principally used for 
the cultivation of corn, and is also used for seeding. 

Our improvement consists of an improved high stand mold 
and reversible share and heel, and is the best implement of the 
kind in the country. This Plow is also an excellent article for 
our Southern planters ; on light land this Plow (say three-fur- 
row) will break up more land in a day with two horses than can 
be done with three one-horse Plows, such as are now in general 
use in some of the Cotton States.

IROIT BEAM DOUBLE SHOVEL CORIT 'PLOW. 




The Best Implement ever Invented for the Cultivation of Corn. 

Being constructed of wrought iron it is more durable than the wood 
Plow, to the extent of at least two, and we think three, to one ; it has 
no rod or colter; will not clog or choke in foul or weedy ground; is 
light of draught and easily managed, only weighing thirty-eight to 
forty pounds; leaves the ground in better condition, free from wash- 
ing; destroys the weeds and grass effectually and pulverizes the ground 
completely, causing it to hold its moisture in dry seasons. This imple- 
•ment is adapted to all kinds of ground, and works equally well on hill- 
side or plain; is the same easy, light and steady running Plow in sand, 
loam and clay, and may be used with perfect ease by a 12-year old boy. 

It is equally'good for seeding small grain, such as wheat, rye and 
oats, the shovels being properly in advance of each other, filling each 
furrow, completely covering all the grain. This Plow, in addition to 
being a superior DOUBLE SHOVEL PLOW, will be supplied with a 
small Bull Tongue and Mouldboard Shovel to all customers who desire 
one or both of these extra shovels. The Bull Tongue is for cultivating 
when the plant is small, stirring deep and throwing but little dirt The 
Mouldboard Shovel is used for hilling corn, last plowing potatoes, &c. 
By the use of these extra shovels, our Plow does the work of the Culti- 
vator, Double Shovel and small Hilling or Turning Plow, completely 
cultivating the plant at all ages or growth. These shovels are all fitted 
to the same stock and are easily removed. The shovels are all of best 
GERMAN STEEL. This Plow is provided with aehield or clod-fender 
if customers order them, as the Bull Tongue, Mouldboard and Clod- 
fender are extra. The clod-fender is for shielding the corn or plants 
when small, preventing it from being covered or damaged by clods or 
dirt, and saves the labor of one hand when the plant is small. We 
could furnish the certificates of thousands of leading farmers and dealers 
as to the superiority of this Plow, but prefer it should'stand on its own 
merits.

We will liave ready in a few weeks several sizes of a new 
plow, invented by Messrs. March & Co., of Norfolk, Va., which 
is considered one of the best plows ibr the KSoiithern country now 
made. It has a higli standard to tlie tnrninj^ mould, thereby 
preventing the ])lo\v from being clioked by tall weeds, grass, &c. 
We will have on hand all the different sizes, from alight one- 
horse to a heavy two-horse, and all the intermediate sizes. These 
Plows are so constructed that the mould can be taken, at pleas- 
ure, from the standard and a larger or smaller mould substituted 
instead. For particulars send for description, cut of and prices 
of the different sizes. 



ROUTT'S IMPE07ED DOUBLE-SHOVEL PLOW.

SmCLAIR & CO.'S DOUBLEYOt; HARROW, 




The Doubleyou Harrow is very efficient on strong, stiff soils. 
It is one of our best Harrows. The plan is simple, and well 
adapted to cultivation, as well as follow the plow, for reducing 
the land to a ^u'oper fineness to receive crops. We can make 
this Harrow any size needed. Below we give sizes, with prices, 
of those constantly kept on hand.

SHARE'S COULTER HARROIXT. 

This Harrow is constructed 
with cast iron coulters, which 
are broad and thin, inclin- 
ing forward so as to prevent 
their clogging with roots, 
grass, stones, &€., as well 
as to cut the sods and force 

an easy entrance into any kind of soil. The 
which forms the lower part of the coulter, the 
which is continued a short distance below the covering portion 
of the tooth, forms the point. This serves to elevate'the teeth 
over stumps, stones, and other impediments, and also gives them 
durability. This Harrow is much used in covering broadcast 
grain sown on sod land, for which it excels all other Harrows.

Any farmer needing a good, substantial Harrow for rough lands, 
we would advise him to buy the Scotch Hinge. 



aEDI3ES' HI^aE HA^RRO^W. 




The G-eddes' Harrow is made of two angular frames, con- 
nected by wrought iron hinges in the centre, so that it adapts 
itself to an uneven surface, and either side may be conveniently 
elevated to free it from stones, sods, &c., while the harrow is 
moving along, without distuibing the operation of the other 
half; and one part may be fulded u[)<)n tlie other in passing 
stones, between stum])s, fruit ti-ees, &c. 

The arrangement of the teeth in the fi-ame is such that each 
one operates distinctly from the others, and the number of im- 
pressions made on tlie soil will be equal to the number of teeth, 
and at equal distances.

Tlie Horse Hoo is designed for the hoeing or cultivation of 
corn, the various root crops, cotton, hops, young nurseries, and 
hoed crops generally. Is quite light, easily managed, and of 
easy draft for one horse or mule. A thorough pulverizer of the 
surface soil and exterminator of weeds and grass. The forward 
tooth is simjijly a coulter to keep the implement steady and in a 
straightforward direction ; the two side or middle teeth are 
miniature plows, to turn the earth from the rows at first weed- 
ing, when the plants are small and tender, or towards them in 
latter cultivation, at the option of the operator. The broad rear 
tooth effectually disposes of grass and weeds, cutting off or root- 
ing up all that comes in its way ; is a thorough pulverizer of the 
surface, sifting the eartli and Aveeds through its iron prongs or 
fingers in the rear, leaving tlie weeds on tlie surface to wilt and 
die, and the ground level and mellow. 

For hoeing carrots, turnips, &c., where the rows are narrow, 
the side teeth are taken out, and the rear tooth, with the forward 
one as a director to guide the instrument, hoes and mellows the 
ground between the rows perfectly.

It was introduced by the great 
cotton grower, Mr. Dickson, of 
Georgia, and it is now coining 
into general use. 

It is a tolerable tool even when 
made of iron by the country smith ; 
but when perfectly made and 
properly formed from hardened, tempered steel, it becomes very 
valuable. 

I have fitted up machinery, at great expense, expressly for 
the manufacture of this sweep ; and my large and increasing 
sales prove their superiority.
